while we are at it...read Grant’s anti Jewish edicts as an occupier...just Google “Ulysses Grant, Jews”
interesting how nice Union army was to Jews in Dixie huh?
in 1816 largest Jewish population in US was in Charleston
3000 Jews fought for CSA
7000 for Union
not near as many Jews then as now in US as he eastern Jews had not arrived yet...a whole nother breed
the old Jewish temples are very interesting architecture...Port Gibson MS has a very nice one
some still exist and have traveling rabbis
see the book Jewish Confederates by Robert Rosen...himself an old line SC Jew..
as to be expected many later arrival liberal Jews and other lefties now try to act like this part of history never happened and often deny it or desribe these as non observant Jews
which is a bald faced lie...the average Jew in those days much like the average Christian too...was far far more religious than their counterpart today
and in the South they were more likely Sephardic..which raises a whole nother inter Jewish issue..one of Eurosnobbery
North or South Jews had a difficult welcome in America and the South, birthplace of the Klan(ex-CSA) had no affinity for the Jews. Or Catholics or blacks or just about anyone else so lets not forget that, ok?
